Are you not to sharp? It is ok not to know something, it is not ok to post something that you are clueless about and show your ignorance.

This is already happening!!! The NEC receives its power from outside sources which do use nuclear fuel to generate power. So your Acela's are nuclear powered.

You know, the steam you see coming out of the cooling tower? " This is NOT radioactive steam ot water. The cooling towers are NOT for the steam that goes through the turbine, but it is for the condenser water. Each is a closed syetem and the waters do not co-mingle.

I saw it in the movie therefore it must be true! [;)] NO, I know it's not radioactive. And I know the difference between a BWR and a PWR too. What do you think about my idea to shine blue lights on the cooling towers? We could shine them on the cooling towers at fossil plants too just for fun. When you see pictures of nuclear plants on TV, what do you see? Cooling Towers! If it's got cooling towers, it must be a nuclear plant.

QUOTE: But the color of steam is usually enough to get the public going, especially when the hyperbolic type cooling towers (not to be confused with the forsed draft variety) are used in non-nuclear applications such as a coal fired electric generating plant or a chemical plant. I have had people swear that the cooling curtians are nuclear reactors when I was working in the construction of a coal plant near Macon GA. One even called me a conspiritor and a liar against the public good when I was his host on a guided tour of the place. Go figure- PL
